the latter of which has a patch.  textscan() is fairly popular so it might be nice to address those before a release in order to avoid redundant bug reports, unless it doesn't really reach critical status for minor releases.

PS: Are there no tests for built-in functions?

octave:5> test textscan
????? textscan is a built-in function

Dan

Built-in functions often do have tests, but the tests are in the file where the built-in function resides.  So try this

octave: 1> which textscan
'textscan' is a built-in function from the file libinterp/corefcn/file-io.cc
octave: 2> test file-io.cc
PASSES 83 out of 83 tests
